In the single-family house in the East End, Abner, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, and he first habitually checked whether the spiritual wall had been touched, and then he looked down and thought:

"My act of giving the 'sacrifice' ritual will certainly arouse Klein's suspicions, and he will probably think that I am testing him."

"But it doesn't matter, after all, I have no intention of hurting him, but have been helping him. Klein is a man who will do his best to repay as long as you have sincerely helped him. This is not something that he will not do just because he is suspicious. ”

"Hey, speaking of which, I chose to help him within my ability, firstly, because he is a novel character I like, and I am willing to help him easily; Second, it is also to have a good relationship with the pillars of the future and leave a way back for yourself......"

The thought of the gods of knowledge and wisdom and the ancestors of the Bloodline who seemed to have been laid out on him made Abner feel a little big, trying to figure out what their plans were, but not daring to really explore, which was a terrible feeling for a "keeper of knowledge" who read the path.

Shaking his head and throwing his cluttered thoughts out of his mind, Abner pulled the box containing the "clown mask" from his bag.

In the teacher's office, there are both servants who come and go and clients who come to commission from time to time, and Abner simply uses the "pure white eye" to analyze the ability of the "clown mask", but does not actually wear it for experiments.

If you happen to be seen with a woman's face on top, you can't explain it.

And at the moment in a private house in the East District, he doesn't have that concern, and he can try it with peace of mind.

Out of an abundance of caution, Abner opened the "Pure White Eye" before taking the mask and putting it on his face.

He felt a cool touch on his face, and then a simple thought reached his mind, urging him to go somewhere and do something.

The idea was not strong at first, but Abner could clearly feel that it would become more and more intense as time went on, and if it did drag on for an hour or two, ordinary extraordinaries might not be able to resist its drive.

Even if it was suppressed by the Pure White Eye, it only prevented it from actually manipulating Abner, but the temptation of the mind like a maggot on the tarsal bone was always there, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

"Using this mask with the 'Pure White Eye' turned on and the 'Mechanical Mind' can safely be worn for a few more hours, but it's not really much of a difference...... Although this mask has the characteristic of being 'alive', its intelligence is far from that of the 'Sword of Dawn', and it is not sensitive to the suppression of high personalities. ”

Abner muttered to himself, looked at the bust on the wall, and saw a female face that was not outstanding, but very charming.

said that she is not outstanding, because her facial features are mediocre, not very beautiful, but very attractive, belonging to the kind of appearance that is easy to ignore at a cursory glance, but can have some impressions when you look at it carefully.

It is said that she is very charming, because this face has a pair of bright and indifferent eyes, giving people a sense of wisdom and elegance.

Abner carefully examined his disguised female face and nodded secretly, feeling that as long as he put on a little makeup on this basis, he couldn't actually tell that it was a female face...... It's just that I don't know what bad things the previous owner of the mask has done with this face, and if he is recognized by the bitter master, wouldn't he want him to take the blame?

After testing the mask's strength, speed, and balance, Abner was satisfied with the ability to remove it and put it back in the box.

Joe Wood District, 17 Rotans Street. Sheriff Fasin helped his wife out of the carriage and knocked on the door of a detached house with a garden.

Soon, a manservant opened the door and came out, and when he saw Fasin, he immediately said with guilt on his face:

"I'm sorry, Sergeant Fassin, but Dr. Leonardo isn't here at the moment."

Sheriff Fasin was stunned for a moment, then looked displeased and said, "I remember that I had made an appointment for this time slot before. ”

"I'm sorry, Sergeant. But the doctor has not returned from his outing, and many patients who have made appointments yesterday and today have not been able to see him. The manservant also said a little helplessly.

Sergeant Fasin frowned, and out of professional habit, he asked one more question, and said, "Mr. Leonardo is a very punctual gentleman...... Did he tell you when he would be back before he went out? ”

The manservant hesitated for a moment, but he was also very worried about his employer's abnormality and prolonged non-return, so he finally replied: "Doctor, he went out in a hurry, and I only saw him hurrying into a carriage with a strange badge." But he sent me a letter back today, saying that I don't have to worry, that he still has to spend some days outside, and that I should put all my appointments down. ”

Sheriff Fasin was relieved to hear this, but still asked with some vigilance, "Are you sure that the letter was written by Dr. Leonardo himself?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Sheriff. I've been following the doctor for more than a decade, and I can't mistake his handwriting. The manservant assured earnestly.

"Okay...... In that case, do you know if there is any pregnancy medicine left over from the pregnancy medicine that Dr. Leonardo prepared for my wife? My wife had a great reaction during pregnancy, and she was not too young to need the help of that medicine. Sheriff Fasin had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

"Yes, the doctor actually prepared it before leaving. He also specifically instructed me to bring the potion to you. Well, you wait a minute. ”

Tingen, Hauls Quarter, Divination Club Meeting Room.

Because of Angelica's hard recommendation, Klein, who is worth '8p' in divination, has a good business today, and several people have come to him for "consultation", one is divination for a child who has just turned 1 year old, Klein directly drew the birth astrolabe, and said that the other party was convinced and satisfied.

The other was looking for objects, and Crane used tarot divination combined with dream divination to lock in a general range for him, much to his surprise, because he had never seen a soothsayer who gave such accurate information.

"Maybe I can scrape together enough money to buy all the spiritual materials for the 'sacrifice' ritual just by divining people? Well, I know it's impossible...... But what do I have to say to Mr. Tarot next time? Mr. Fool can't try it because he doesn't have the materials? Crane, who had given the tip, put on his hat, grabbed his cane, and thought as he walked towards the door of the club.

"Or go and ask Old Neil again, and ask him what reason he should be reimbursed for the extra material costs?"

"Speaking of which, the last time the 'Tower' reminded us that the Voyeur is easily polluted by the knowledge instilled by the 'Hidden Sage', I also went to Old Neil's house once in the name of a guest, and found nothing. Well, when I go to consult Old Neil tomorrow, I will find an excuse to make an appointment to come to the door, if it is still okay, then it means that the 'eyes' behind Old Neil were just an accident. ”

Just then, he saw Lady Christina, who had been looking for him for divination, come back in, followed by a young girl in a ruffled hat.

When Christina saw Klein, she immediately greeted her, lowered her voice and asked:

"Mr. Moretti, you said earlier that if you have an item related to Laneus, you can try to divinate his whereabouts?"

"That's right." Crane nodded.

Christina took a breath and asked in a deep voice:

"Does his child count as a relevant item?"

Tuesday, July 24th.

At the Issinger Detective Office in Hilston, Abner had just eaten breakfast and was about to go to the police station in the Bridge District to pick up the police files when Sheriff Fasin walked in from outside.

Abner saw him, and after greeting him, he said apologetically, "Sheriff, it's unfortunate that you're here, the teacher went out early in the morning." It seems that there is a big case that needs his help. ”

"I know that it should be a fraudster who has defrauded a large amount of money in the field and is suspected of entering Beckland, and the police stations in each district have received a wanted warrant for that person...... Because the bounty is high, many police stations are privately hiring detectives to find out. I'm not here to find your teacher, though. ”

When Sergeant Fasin said this, he looked at Abner and said with a smile: "After the dance party the day before yesterday, your reputation has increased rapidly in the police system, and everyone treats you as a future detective. ”

Abner had already seen the sheriff's intention at this time, and said thoughtfully: "So, Sheriff Fassin, you are here today to entrust me with an investigation?" You did not use your capacity as a police officer to formally request assistance...... So. Is it your private business? ”

"Powerful reasoning, worthy of being a future detective who became famous at a young age." Sergeant Fasin applauded, then put on a serious face and said solemnly, "You're right, I want to ask you to help me investigate the whereabouts of a doctor!" ”
